  • Publication number: 20250075688
    Abstract: A fluid working machine includes a cylinder that has a housing portion for accommodating a fluid, a piston that reciprocates in the cylinder, and a crankshaft that performs rotational motion in conjunction with reciprocating motion of the piston. The piston has an opposing concave portion provided in an opposing portion that faces a sliding surface of the crankshaft, and to which the fluid is supplied from the housing portion via the communication path. The opposing concave portion is provided in the opposing portion such that the center of gravity position of a force acting on the piston from the fluid in the opposing concave portion is located upstream of the crankshaft in the rotation direction when viewed from a central axis of the piston.

  • Patent number: 9799418
    Abstract: Provided is a method of treating radioactive liquid waste which reduces the amount of radioactive waste to be generated and is capable of removing a radioactive nuclide from radioactive liquid waste to the extent that the concentration thereof is less than or equal to the measurement lower limit using a simple apparatus configuration. A filtration device is connected to a colloid removal device by a connection pipe. An adsorption tower positioned at the highest stream of an adsorption device is connected to the colloid removal device by a connection pipe. The colloid removal device includes an electrostatic filter. Respective adsorption towers in the adsorption device are sequentially connected by a pipe. A discharge pipe is connected to the adsorption tower positioned at the lowest stream of the adsorption device. Radioactive liquid waste, containing particles having a particle diameter of 1 ?m or greater, negatively charged colloids, and a radioactive nuclide, is supplied to the filtration device.
